Selling a share of my home to a family member

Postby Merry » Thu Jan 24, 2019 8:29 pm

My daughter would like to sell her property, move into my house and use her equity to buy a share of it, thus giving me a lump sum in return. As this would be our only home, would Capital Gains tax or any other tax be payable on the money I receive.

If you are selling a share of your home, no CGT is payable.

Thank you for that. So I can just use the money she pays me save or to spend without having to declare it to the taxman as income of any form (such as unearned income)?

Correct. There is no need to declare any gain arsing from the sale of your home.

Do remember though that your daughter might have to pay SDLT depending on how much she's paying for a share.
